Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

In a circuit with two batteries and three resistors, and knowing the values of all components, set up the Kirchhoff's equations needed to solve for the unknown currents.

💡 Hint: Make sure you account for the correct signs based on the direction of current.

Challenge 2 Hard

Two resistors are in series with a 12V battery. If one resistor has a voltage of 4V, what is the voltage across the second resistor?

💡 Hint: Consider how total voltage is shared among series resistors.
